NAME
       vacation - return ``I am on vacation'' indication

SYNOPSIS
       vacation -I
       vacation user

DESCRIPTION
       Vacation	 returns a message to the sender of a message telling that you
       are on vacation.	 The intended use is in a .forward file.  For example,
       your .forward file might have:

	    \eric, "|vacation eric"

       which  would  send  messages to you (assuming your login name was eric)
       and send a message back to the sender.

       Vacation expects a file .vacation.msg in your home directory containing
       a  message  to  be  sent	 back  to each sender.	It should be an entire
       message (including headers).  For example, it might say:

	    From: eric@ucbmonet.Berkeley.EDU (Eric Allman)
	    Subject: I am on vacation
	    Delivered-By-The-Graces-Of: the Vacation program

	    I am on vacation until July 22.  If you have something urgent,
	    please contact Joe Kalash <kalash@ucbingres.Berkeley.EDU>.
		 --eric

       This message will only be sent once a week to each unique sender.   The
       people  who  have sent you messages are kept in the files .vacation.pag
       and .vacation.dir in your home directory.  The  -I  option  initializes
       these  files,  and  should  be executed before you modify your .forward
       file.

       If the -I flag is not specified, vacation reads the first line from the
       standard	 input for a UNIX-style ``From'' line to determine the sender.
       If this is not present, a nasty diagnostic  is  produced.   Sendmail(8)
       includes the ``From'' line automatically.

       No  message  is	sent  if the initial ``From'' line includes the string
       ``-REQUEST@'' or if a ``Precedence: bulk'' or ``Precedence: junk'' line
       is included in the header.
